I've been training for a marathon now for just over a year. In that time, I've run 3 half marathons officially and now am reaching the point in my training where I am running more than 13 miles every weekend. Well, at least hypothetically. I've also had knee problems that have limited the long runs, so the last 3 weeks were all around 11 miles ( Read more... )

So I ran the Dallas Half Marathon yesterday. When I ran the DRC Half earlier this year, I was already a little hurt and made myself nice and injured in the race. Yesterday was different. I hadn't trained enough in the previous few weeks, but I made it mostly running, and I did it without injury. I'm sore today, not injured. That makes me happy ( Read more... )

So in the last 24 hours I've had 2 things happen that make me feel better, though I didn't think they would ( Read more... )

I am surprised by this next statement. My lats are sore. At least I think that my lats are sore. I'm sure something is sore and the muscle chart I'm looking at makes me think that it's my latissimus dorsi.

I was going to do a hardcore upper body workout on Tuesday but instead did a full-body workout with azurelion and itsjames2u to make sure that they were able to ( Read more... )

I come from a good gene pool. I realized it again last night when I called my grandmother to tell her that I was out of town this weekend. See, my mom's birthday is on Saturday and my grandmother wants to celebrate all of the October birthdays at a party this weekend. She put it on my mother's birthday to be able to better guilt-trip me into ( Read more... )

Today's been good. I've been thinking of buying a new suit for months. I went today to Joseph A. Bank to basically get them to teach me about suits and then go elsewhere to buy. It turns out that they were having a really good sale. $500 suits for $200. $700 suits for $300. $1000 suits for $400 ( Read more... )

Animal gave me his current workout last night. He said it's pretty brutal. I'm sure that depends at least partially on how much weight you're using, but if it kicks HIS ass it has to be rough. I'm planning on doing it as soon as I quit doing the ones focused on weight loss myself, but I needed to store it somewhere. If anyone does it, let me know ( Read more... )

I'm just now in the office today. It looks like DesignMojo has already fixed the client's most recent problem, so that means that today I'll be doing some sort of sales support instead of working on the Warbird. That's a nice change of pace ( Read more... )

So when you're not happy, there's not much that's fun at all. So you might as well be productive ( Read more... )

I'm sore again, and almost surprised. I have just finished the first week of this little plan that I was asked to throw together for lower-body workouts and core exercises. This should supplement your normal cardio workout with 3 weight-training sessions a week. The nice part is that each of these sessions takes about 12-15 minutes ( Read more... )
